AZ shooting meet up with LS Wild March 20-22, 2026

Don’t worry we’ll take care of you. The dry heat thing is real and we’ll have shade and wet towels, makes all the difference. I work outside and like to wear a lightweight sun hoody and then a cotton longsleeve over that. Cotton T absorbs lots of water and it’s like wearing a personal swamp cooler as long as the humidity is low. Plus two shirts creates a boundary layer from the sun. Outer shirt takes the UV but the inner shirt against your skin stays much cooler.

Yup, I wear long sleeve UV sun hoodies. And, I stay in the shade. Wearing a second shirt actually feels cooler because of the sweat and it stops the prickly heat of the sun. Glassing in the sun, I wear my big brim hat and throw a light wrap over me too. Seems weird, but there is a reason desert people are covered up.

You’ll definitely thaw and then start to bake, lol. I will have water to drink and water to wipe off the heat. You will sweat more than you realize. Hydration is number one and cooling towels number two. With shade and a breeze, the heat is manageable.

You’ll get a good lesson or two on mirage as well.
